Overview
Key Features
z PDMS provides a fully interactive,
easy-to-use 3D environment for every
designer on the project.
z As the designers work with their
specialist functions, they have visibility
of the entire design at all times.
To create their part of the design
they place instances of parametric
components from a catalogue
(under the control of engineering
specifications) and, in doing so,
construct a highly intelligent PDMS
database.
z Clash checking and configurable
integrity checking rules identify errors
and inconsistencies across the design.
z Conventional issue, revision, and
change-control processes can all be
applied without introducing a large
overhead or delays in projects which
can have many hundred users.
Equipment
z The Equipment functions build 3D models for all kinds of plant
items, from pumps and exchangers through to complex items
such as reactor vessels and compressors. They are used in all
kinds of layout studies, arrangement drawings and connectivity
or clash checks.
z Multiple graphical representations are available, so that spaces
required for key maintenance activities can be visualised and
clash checked during layout and design.
An equipment template
Regularly used pipe assemblies can be stored and re-used throughout the design
Localisation
z PDMS supports Unicode throughout so that an extensive
range of international character sets can be used for data,
catalogues, drawings, reports and user interfaces, including
many multi-byte (Asian) and single-byte (European) character
sets.
z Feet/inches and metric units are available throughout.
